GameStop Founder Comments On The Reddit Frenzy, Says It's An "Honor" To Be Chosen

<p><strong>Reddit users reportedly reply "stonks!! 🚀🚀🚀 💎🙌".</strong></p> <p>So, it turns out that the son of one of the founders of GameStop has been on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l9ta9n/gamestop_founder_gary_kusin_said_it_was_an_honor/">r/wallstreetbets</a> this whole time, watching the saga unfold. If you need a primer on what exactly we're talking about here, <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/01/what_exactly_is_going_on_with_gamestops_stock_prices">go read our coverage</a> - we'll wait.</p> <p>Ben Kusin, the Redditor in question, is one of the sons of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kusin">Gary Kusin</a>, the 69-year old founder of Babbage's, the store that would later be bought by Barnes and Noble in 1999, and renamed to GameStop. Kusin resigned as President in 1995, after the company merged with Software, Inc.

Kickstarter-Funded Game Ova Magica Looks Like Slime Rancher Plus Harvest Moon

<p><strong>...Plus Pokémon, plus Rune Factory, plus Stardew Valley...</strong></p> <p>There have been a slew of <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/gbc/harvest_moon">Harvest Moon</a>-likes lately on Kickstarter, including Swery's <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/476090608/the-good-life">The Good Life</a>, <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sunhaven/sunhaven">Sunhaven</a>, <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1757963851/my-time-at-sandrock-us">My Time At Sandrock</a>, and <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rainygames/sunnyside-open-world-farming-jrpg">Sunnyside</a>. <strong>Ova Magica</strong> is the newest of these, but with the added twist that there's also a monster ranching aspect, similar to <strong>Slime Rancher</strong> (which sadly <a href="https://twitter.com/monomipark/status/897498692432805888">isn't on Switch</a>, though it really should be).</p> <p>Although Ova Magica is still running its <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/claudiathedev/ova-magica/description">Kickstarter campaign</a>, it reached its initial €20k (~£17,700) goal in less than three hours. It currently stands at just over €100,000 (~£88,400), with 1,479 backers. And yes, it's coming to Switch - they've even promised a physical release. The devs even noted that the game would not be a "port", but would be developed from the start with the Switch in mind.</p> <p>Read the <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/02/kickstarter-funded_game_ova_magica_looks_like_slime_rancher_plus_harvest_moon">full article on nintendolife.com</a></p> <br /> <br /> from Nintendo Life | Latest Updates https://ift.tt/2NXonkH<br />

Feature: Clammy Consoles, Humid Horrors, And Retro Regrets

<p><strong>Don't try this at home.</strong></p> <p>A few years ago a clever, witty, and shockingly beautiful Nintendo Life writer had to spend a few boring days trawling numerous websites searching for a brand new and eye-wateringly expensive wafer-thin HDTV with which to replace their ageing and sadly then only semi-functional slightly less wafer-thin HDTV. This new triumph of technology and installment-based payment plans was even <em>more</em> HD than previous, lesser, HDs, and everyone in the house was very happy with this newest iteration of the rectangular entertainment window.</p> <p>Read the <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/02/feature_clammy_consoles_humid_horrors_and_retro_regrets">full article on nintendolife.com</a></p> <br /> <br /> from Nintendo Life | Latest Updates https://ift.tt/3cz58Ii<br />

Remember Castaway Paradise, The Animal Crossing-Meets-Farming Game? It's Finally Coming To Switch

<p><strong>A fake worthy of Jolly Redd's Treasure Trawler.</strong></p> <p>The last time we wrote about <strong>Castaway Paradise</strong>, the free-to-play Facebook and iOS game that combines elements of <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/3ds/animal_crossing_new_leaf">Animal Crossing</a> and <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/3ds/harvest_moon_3d_the_tale_of_two_towns">Harvest Moon</a>, we said that <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/06/animal_crossing_clone_castaway_paradise_could_even_come_to_wii_u">the game <em>might</em> come to Wii U</a>. That's right, folks! It's been a <em>while</em> since Castaway Paradise's 2014 release, and though it never came out on Wii U (to the chagrin of all five of us who owned one), it's finally making its way to the Nintendo Switch.</p> <p>The game has seen re-releases on PS4 and Xbox One in 2018, as well as a Windows launch in 2015. Now, it's on a Nintendo system for the very first time, and although no release date has been officially mentioned, Harvest Moon fansite <a href="https://fogu.com/hm/">Fogu</a> says to expect the game "sometime this spring".</p> <p>Read the <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/02/remember_castaway_paradise_the_animal_crossing-meets-farming_game_its_finally_coming_to_switch">full article on nintendolife.com</a></p> <br /> <br /> from Nintendo Life | Latest Updates https://ift.tt/39AtJdN<br />
